New Product Brochures Offered By Armco

A stainless steel that wins the war against corrosion in the oilfields and another that fights wear at an affordable price are featured in two new product data bulletins on Nitronic 50 and 60 available from Armco's Specialty Steels Division.

Nitronic 50 provides corrosion resistance and high yield strength not found in any other corrosion-fighting material in its price range, according to the bulletin. Oilfield applications of Nitronic 50 are listed for use offshore or on land. It is said to be ideal in applications that require a combination of resistance to corrosion, heat, and pressure. A chart is included that shows test results of the alloy's resistance to sulfide stress cracking in sour wells.

Nitronic 60 wears up to three times longer than high-cobalt alloys in oilfield applications but costs much less, the other bulletin says.

Nitronic 60 can be used anywhere in oilfield equipment where metal meets metal. It will provide resistance to wear and add years of service to the equipment, the bulletin says. A chart and photo are included that show how this alloy outwears competitive materials.
